WATERTWN, WISCONSIN, ASSIG'NOR TO BRANDT CASHIER COMPANY', 0F CHICAGO,LLINOIS.

COIN-DELVERY MACHINE.

Leanser.

Application led February 6, 1913.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, EDWARD J. BRANDT, a citizen of the United States,and resident ot' 1Vtatertown. in the county et .letterson and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new and useful improvements inCoin-Delivery ltlachines; and l do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention consists in what is herein particularly set forth withreference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims ofthis specification, its object being to prevent sticking and tofacilitate the delivery of coins trom compartments ot coindeliverymachines of the type now gem orally known to the trade and public asBrandt automatic cashiers. This object is attained by oii'setting thelower discharge end of each coin-compartment in such a manner as toprovidefor relieving the lowermost coin or coins in said compartmentfrom much of the weight of the coins higher up in the same column.

Figure l ol the drawings represents a partly sectional elevation of oneof my improved coin compartments and contents, the section beingindicated by line 1--l in the next described illustration. Fig. 2, asimilar view of which the section is indicated by line one in Fig. i.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 3 indicates one of what isgenerally a group of coin-compartments in a. tray that may be either afixed or removable part of a coin delivery machine ot the type abovenoted. rlhe delivery-end ot the compartment is laterally offset, asshown in Fig. l, and pro vided with the usual coin-supportin r ledges 4-between which a spring-control ed coin pusher 5 has play, this pusherbeing in pivotal connection with an 'actuating lever 6. The otlsettingof the compartment, as aforef said results in a tilt o'l' the majorportion of the coin column therein, the tilt being above anypredetermined number of the. coin in 4said column, and thus the weightof the superimposed coin is divided between the incline opposing surface'Z' of said compartment and the underneath com, the prepon-Specifleation of Letters Patent.

Patented June 9, 1914..

Serial No. 746,508.

de rance of said weight being upon said inclined surface of theaforesaid compartment. Hence it will be readily understood that the coinin the path of the pusher 5 is not liable to stick or otherwisematerially oppose the actlon of said pusher, this being the importantadvantage in the use of machines to which my improvements relate.

It is to he observed that the amount ot frictional contact of thelowermosttilted coin of thecolumn upon the coin nextbelow is slight, andthe descent ci said tilt-ed coins along the inclination of the ottsctportion ot' the coin compartment is unimpeded.

l claim:

1. In a coin holder for coin delivery meh ehines, and in combination, amember having sides andv back Walls fashioned to hold and guide a stackot coin, a supporting ledge at the base of the holder, means forejecting the lowermost coin from the holder, and a iixed projecting coinsupporting part in the holder at the lower portion thereof above thesaid base for supporting in part the stack of coin above the base, theinterior surfaces of the Walls of said member being smooth andunobstructed throughout above the said projecting coin supporting part.

2. A coin delivery machine coin compartment, said coin compartmenthaving an in termediate portion arranged at an angle to the upper andlower ortions ot' the compartment to provide or a tilt of the majorportion of the coin column, and 1a division of its Weight upon theinclination of said compartment and the lowermost remainder of saidcolumn. Y

3. A. coin compartment comprising upper andlower portions, and anintermediate inclined portion to rovide for a tilt of the major portionof t e coin column, and a division of its Weight upon the inclination ofsaid compartment and the lower-most remainder of said column.

tl. In a coin holder for coin delivery machines, and in combination, amember having sides and back Walls 'fashioned' to hold and guide a stackof coin, a supporting ledge at the base of the holder, means forejecting the lower-most coin from the holder, and a lli fixed projectingcoin supporting part in the in the county of Je'erson and State of Wis'-holder above the said base having 'a supportcousin in the presence oftwo witnesses. ing face inclined inwardly whereby the coin 'may passpromptly from the projection 'onto .EDWARD J' BRANDT' 5 the base,substantiallyas described. /Vtnesses:

In testimony that I Claim the foregoing I J. F. RENTISS,

' havehereunto set my hand at Watertown E. KEER.
